A Lee: *ACCESS ISSUE* - PULLOUT PARKING CLOSURE
The parking lot off Hwy 41G used to be the established point of access to the main canyon, but it is now closed. On 5/31/2020, an access issue arose due to the lot being overcrowded with ~7 vehicles. Saguache County Sheriff was called by the landowners, and the climbers were asked to leave the canyon. Climbers should park at the Penitente Main Canyon and hike in, or park at the established BLM parking lot 1 mile West on 41G and hike the road.
The SLV Climbers Alliance, with support from the Access Fund, is navigating this access issue. Contact slvclimb.org for questions or status reports, or join the Facebook Group "San Luis Valley Climbers Alliance" for the latest updates.
Description
Start up a slab and left-leaning crack to a slight bulge. Power through the bulge, alternating between the crack and sweet crimps, sidepulls, and pockets on the face, then trend back to the right through the crux and up to the chains.
It is a good warm-up.
Location
This is tucked back in a slight alcove a little above and west of the main trail, adjacent to
Honeycomb.
Protection
It is newly equipped with glue-in bolts and Mussy hooks at the anchor.
